Kacy McCoy

Kacy McCoy is following in her brother's Sam's footsteps at RMU, thanks to their father's service as a U.S. Marine.

Both of the McCoy children received dependent benefits through veterans educational benefits. Sam graduated last year with a teaching degree from RMU, and now Kacy is a sophomore studying Web development.

After a year of studying media arts, Kacy switched majors to take advantage of RMU's excellent School of Computer Information Systems. She's also taking accounting and marketing.

"They require you to take different courses, and I like that," Kacy said. "It gives you broader knowledge, and maybe a foot up in the job market."

Spouses and dependents who qualify for tuition benefits under the post 9/11 veteran's education benefits may also study free at RMU.
